are they for real?
check this out > http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060214/ap_on_re_us/wal_mart_contraception
so wal-mart is being forced by the state of massachusetts to carry the morning after pill after several women sued becuase it is illegal for pharmacies to not carry common over the counter stuff.
the article says that the company only carries the pill the illinois because it is required to. god i really hate this company, and yes this is why i don't shop there. why would anyone? yeah yeah, low prices, but do you now how wal-mart gets these lower prices, they strong arm suppliers. for example, say paper towels, they say to the bounty distributor either you give us 12-packs of bounty for $1 less than anyone else or every wal-mart across the country will not carry you. so walmart sells bounty for less than target or shop-rite or anyone can even buy it for.
then there is the issue of screwing their workers. sure they hire elderly people and unskilled labors, but thats no reason to screw them out of benefits.
walmart makes me ill, and when they impose their politics onto others it makes me angry.
oh and before you come at me with "i don't need the morning after pill anyway, so what do i care?" think that they already dopn't carry music or censor song titles and album art because they find it offensive. this is ridiculous that a corporation can decide what you get what you don't. sure you can go to another store, but wlamart makes it common place to undercut the comptetion and dirve them away. so your other option may be 40 miles away.
do not let this corporate monster dictate american life. boycott them NOW!
your thoughts?
